To promote market discipline by eliminating expectations on the part of shareholders, creditors, and counterparties of such companies that the U.S. government will shield them from losses in the event of failure. 3. To respond to emerging threats to the stability of the U.S. financial system.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • Banking Policy Issues in the 115Th Congress
    Banking Policy Issues in the 115th Congress David W. Perkins Analyst in Macroeconomic Policy March 7, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44855 Banking Policy Issues in the 115th Congress Summary The financial crisis and the ensuing legislative and regulatory responses greatly affected the banking industry. Many new regulations—mandated or authorized by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111-203) or promulgated under the authority of bank regulators—have been implemented in recent years. In addition, economic and technological trends continue to affect banks. As a result, Congress is faced with many issues related to the bank industry, including issues concerning prudential regulation, consumer protection, “too big to fail” (TBTF) banks, community banks, regulatory agency design and independence, and market and economic trends. For example, the Financial CHOICE Act (H.R. 10) and the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155) propose wide ranging changes to the financial regulatory system, and include provisions related to many of these banking issues. Prudential Regulation. This type of regulation is designed to ensure banks are safely profitable and unlikely to fail. Regulatory ratio requirements agreed to in the international agreement known as the Basel III Accords and the Volcker Rule are examples. Ratio requirements require banks to hold a certain amount of capital on their balance sheets to better enable them to avoid failure. The Volcker Rule prohibits certain trading activities and affiliations at banks. Proponents argue the rules appropriately balance the need for safety and soundness with regulatory burden.

  • A Large-Scale Evaluation of U.S. Financial Institutions' Standardized
    A Large-Scale Evaluation of U.S. Financial Institutions' Standardized Privacy Notices Lorrie Faith Cranor, Pedro Giovanni Leon, Blase Ur florrie, pedrogln, [email protected] Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA ABSTRACT Financial institutions in the United States are required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to provide annual privacy notices. In 2009, eight federal agencies jointly released a model privacy form for these disclosures. While the use of this model privacy form is not required, it has been widely adopted. We automatically evaluated 6,191 U.S. financial institutions' privacy notices. We found large variance in stated practices, even among institutions of the same type. While thousands of financial institutions share personal information without providing the opportunity for consumers to opt out, some institutions' practices are more privacy-protective. Regression analyses show that large institutions and those headquartered in the Northeastern region share consumers' personal information at higher rates than all other institutions. Furthermore, our analysis helped us uncover institutions that do not let consumers limit data sharing when legally required to do so, as well as institutions making self-contradictory statements. We discuss implications for privacy in the financial industry, issues with the design and use of the model privacy form, and future directions for standardized privacy notice. 1 1 Introduction When the United States Congress was considering the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA), allowing the consolidation of different types of financial institutions, privacy ad- vocates argued that it was important to notify consumers about these institutions' data practices and allow consumers to limit the use and sharing of their data [19].

No new topics have been added to the Supplemental Instructions for June 2020. However, the topic on “Recent Banking Agency Actions Affecting Regulatory Capital” in the March 2020 Supplemental Instructions has been updated and retitled “Banking Agencies’ Recent COVID-19-Related Activities Affecting the Call Report.” In addition, these Supplemental Instructions again include an Appendix providing information on certain sections of the CARES Act that affect accounting and regulatory reporting. This Appendix was initially added to the Supplemental Instructions for March 2020 and has been updated this quarter. In general, institutions with domestic offices only and total assets less than $5 billion as of June 30, 2019, were eligible to file the FFIEC 051 Call Report as of March 31, 2020, but such institutions had the option to file the FFIEC 041 Call Report instead as of that date. Institutions are expected to file the same report form, either the FFIEC 051 or the FFIEC 041, for each quarterly report date during 2020.

  • Can You Predict a Hit?
    CAN YOU PREDICT A HIT? FINDING POTENTIAL HIT SONGS THROUGH LAST.FM PREDICTORS BACHELOR THESIS MARVIN SMIT (0720798) DEPARTMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT NIJMEGEN SUPERVISORS: DR. L.G. VUURPIJL DR. F. GROOTJEN Abstract In the field of Music Information Retrieval, studies on Hit Song Science are becoming more and more popular. The concept of predicting whether a song has the potential to become a hit song is an interesting challenge. This paper describes my research on how hit song predictors can be utilized to predict hit songs. Three subject groups of predictors were gathered from the Last.fm service, based on a selection of past hit songs from the record charts. By gathering new data from these predictors and using a term frequency-inversed document frequency algorithm on their listened tracks, I was able to determine which songs had the potential to become a hit song. The results showed that the predictors have a better sense on listening to potential hit songs in comparison to their corresponding control groups.
